We decided to venture out to Santa Barbara for 2 days, so we could get outside the city and get a taste of the Pacific coast drive heading north of LA.
After doing numerous wine tastings, my main question was inquiring about the best Mexican joint in the city. We were referred to 'La Super-Rica Taqueria.
I have to say, I have tried soft corn tortillas here in Montreal, and was so discouraged by the mealy off taste. But LA taught me that they are scrumptious when done properly!!
1st good sign: Big line up outside.
Lady pressing fresh tortillas
So I started myself with the most refreshing, no sugar added, watermelon juice with nice mini chunks of watermelon added inside. OH SO GOOD! on a hot day!
Marinated pork on 3 soft corn tortillas, with a generous amount of green chili, cheese, and a side of avocado. SCRUMPTIOUS
Soft corn marinated porn tortilla with a side of guac! Mmmmm.
'Tamal de verduras': Vegetarian tamale with, chayote, corn, zucchini, potato, chile pasilla strips, cheese and béchamel type sauce. It was good, but not AS exciting as the other items!
Unlimited sides of salsa and spicy sauces.
a little taste of heaven and incredibly cheap.
